I used it one other time when she was hearing DH in the basement and would not stop barking for anything. I do not mind a little barking and agree it is natural and instinctual however, when she uses barking to lead me .... it has to be nipped in the butt. I am so thankful for its effectiveness and the limited number of times I have had to use it. Note that I had to physically walk to the other side of the room (which was okay) but important to mention. Also as a Warning... pay attention to where all pets are at the time you use it. I noticed that my kitty who was across the room, also was 'notified' that no more barking was permitted.  |
Yes I agree, these are important considerations. I just want to thank you all for telling me about this.
